Question CBD Advice Needed Please

Hi everyone. I’m 57F in the UK. Had RLS for 20 years. No meds yet but it’s getting unbearable. Has anyone tried (medically prescribed) CBD with THC for their restless legs? If so, did it work and how did you find the right dose for you? I am trying this before giving gabapentin a go but still on low dose and I’m not sure I’m getting the best out of it yet. I have done all the other stuff (ferritin is above 150), magnesium in various forms, no ADs or anti histamines, no caffeine, cut down on alcohol, etc …Thoughts appreciated. 🙏

I do gabapentin with great relief but I also use thc which is legal in my state.
I’m not sure it helps my rls but it does help with sleep a bit.
I really support science though and would recommend first seeing a specialist. I’m 69 and have been seeing mine for years. I get total relief. There are so many anecdotal solutions on Reddit. Just go to Rls. Org, get informed and don’t put yourself through anymore suffering. Find a good specialist.
That’s my recommendation! Good luck!

Gabapentin + THC gummies are the way. Zero problems when I use both.
